Solid used phone purchase!
By Jas on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025
Bought this phone recently as a spare device for a vacation trip - was able to add an eSim easily, and take lots of beautiful photos with the camera. The phone arrived in great condition (minor to no visible defects, very light/hardly noticeable micro-scratches on the glass surface) and has worked flawlessly so far. The shipping was fast and the phone came well packaged, with an extra off-brand charger included. Very happy with this purchase! My one complaint is that the battery seems to drop fairly rapidly when actually in use (came with about 86% battery life status) - its possible this could be mitigated by looking into settings/app usage/services/etc, or usage with external portable battery pack, though inherently it also just makes sense for a used phone battery quality to degrade over time also. While I appreciated this seller and product purchase experience, always be mindful that buying devices second-hand can be a bit of a toss-up. This is my second attempt to purchase a used iphone through amazon - the first time, the device screen display was glitchy, and even with free returns it takes time and resources to print out the shipping labels/repackage the product/find a drop-off point, and sellers do not refund initial product shipping fees. If you have an event or usage date in mind in the near-term, keep in mind that its also hard to understand the reliability of a device prior to actually receiving and using it for a bit. Truthfully if the iPhone SE was still available for retail purchase I likely would have strongly considered simply buying one new for ease of mind and to know I'm getting the best quality/battery/etc, but given the performance so far, and price of this product at time of purchase compared to the next lowest cost option from apple, for about 1/3 the cost I think this was a very solid purchase.

Third time's the charm
By Evan R on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2025
I had to try three of these before they got it right. Fortunately this was for my son and his previous phone was still usable during the whole ordeal. 1) First phone I received looked perfect, started the automatic migration, was looking good and then it told me it didn't have enough space. Looked on the Verizon site and it showed me it was a 64GB phone, not 128GB. Returned without issue. 2) Second phone I received looked good too, started the migration but it wouldn't activate. Turned out not to be a US version, it was tagged as "Rest of World." The eSIM functionality didn't work. I had Verizon send me a physical SIM card and we were able to get it activated. Unfortunately there was other functionality disabled as well, not NFC for ApplePay so you could add cards but not use it at a terminal. Also, GPS resolution was hobbled, completely useless for car navigation. Returned without issue, but much frustration before the return. 3) Picked one that was sold and shipped by Amazon, not sure if that made the difference but there was no problem with the phone. Overall it took a couple of months and each return/reorder cycle got more expensive — there was no replace option — so it wound up costing about $40 more then I had originally spent. All the phones were super clean, looked like new.
